This project aims to provide a bibliography resource for teachers, parents, counselors, and others interacting with children that had ACEs. As statistics indicate, there is a need for assistance in the area of resources to help children cope with the impact of the tragedy. Books are one means of having children feel connected to others and experience another individual’s process of coping with a traumatic event. Reading can connect children emotionally with characters which is the primary goal of this grant, though reading will also provide children with other additional affective benefits of readings such as active civic engagement, healthier lifestyle, examples of empathy.

Cet ouvrage collectif rassemble une série de communications qui ont été présentées au symposium du Festival international de psychologie africaine organisé par l’Association Sikotwomatis ak Afrikanite (SITWOMAFRIKA), en partenariat avec l’Institut d’études et de recherches africaines d’Haïti (IERAH/ISERSS) de l’Université d’État d’Haïti, à Port-au-Prince en mai 2016, sous l’égide de Judite Blanc et Sterlin Ulysse. Il s’agissait, à travers ce premier événement festif et pluridisciplinaire du genre à Port-au-Prince, de nourrir les discussions sur les séquelles écologiques, psychologiques, sociales, culturelles et épistémiques de l’histoire de l’esclavage et de la colonisation dans le développement des sujets haïtiens, africains et afro-caribéens. Ce choix thématique s’étaye sur deux familles de modèles théoriques en psychologie : la première éclaire les conséquences de la violence sur le développement et l’équilibre des individus, tandis que la seconde propose de faire la lumière sur l’interaction entre la biologie et l’environnement (physique et social).

This brief book serves as an instructor for a self-help course that will be offered to persons who have been through a terrible experience. Once you find yourself in the position of supporting a person who has experienced trauma, the book walks you through the various steps that are needed of you.

If we want to impact the world of children who have experienced trauma then we must change not only ourselves and our classroom, but we must change our schools, our organisations, and our systems of care for children. We must all speak out for these children who have no voice to bring awareness of new educational and mental health approaches to children who will become tomorrow’s failed adults unless they receive our understanding and our help.

For whatever reason you have been attracted to this book, you have come to the right place. You may at times put it down and wonder if the challenge is too great, but trust me it is not. If you stay engaged with this book and with a child who has experienced trauma then you will learn new understandings, new ideas and new ways to reach the mind, the heart and the soul of young people who need our support and our love.

Many individuals experience trauma during their lifetimes. Although many people exposed to trauma demonstrate few or no lingering symptoms, those individuals who have experienced repeated, chronic, or multiple traumas are more likely to exhibit pronounced symptoms and consequences, including substance abuse, mental illness, and health problems. Subsequently, trauma can significantly affect how an individual engages in major life areas as well as treatment. This TIP provides evidence-based and best practice information for behavioral health service providers and administrators who want to work more effectively with people who have been exposed to acute and chronic traumas and/or are at risk of developing traumatic stress reactions. Using key trauma-informed principles, this TIP addresses trauma-related prevention, intervention, and treatment issues and strategies in behavioral health services. The content is adaptable across behavioral health settings that service individuals, families, and communities—placing emphasis on the importance of coordinating as well as integrating services.

As an educator, have you ever wondered about students, “Why can’t she just control her behaviour?” or “Why did he do that?” The demands of the classroom, and the scrutiny of teachers, often leave little time for teachers to consider the complex needs of children experiencing traumatic stress. Drawing on their lived experience and professional expertise, the conversations with trauma-informed education experts in this unique book offer educators an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the needs of students and strategies for responding with compassion and empathy. In a time of rapidly emerging scientific discovery, and social and political challenges, this book encourages educational leaders to question the fundamental assumptions of dominant pedagogical practices and sets the foundations for innovation in education.
